those are from aicn... the gordon thing is fact, superman thing rumor.
they have confirmed a Nightwing #1 but have also shown a batman on both JLA and JLI. So maybe Tim is Nightwing now? or some other shenanigans like the french "le batman" is on JLI.
Hearing no PG news is bad news as the poor girl was spawned from all these multiple reboots....
Yeah I think Guy would have been a better fit for the New Guardians, since his antagonistic attitude towards the other Corps would have added drama, but I'm also excited to have Kyle in a leading role.
Kyle has been in Corps for a long time now, but even then he always felt secondary to either Guy or John. Hoping that's not the case with New Guardians.
I'm wondering if the New Guardians will all have their corps entitys and since Kyle has the most experince with Ion, he's joined them?
Seriously, dude is my favorite Lantern and I like the other corps.
I will definitely get New Guardians and Red Lantern, but I'll have to pick between GL and GLC. I love Tomasi but a Sinestro book would be pretty interesting
My thoughts exactly. Bout time Kyle was in a leading role again. I buy Green Lantern, but I still find Hal Jordan to be boring, I just buy it because I basically have to if I'm also getting Emerald Warriors and GLC.
Edit: I don't think I've ever seen three people post the same sentiments simultaneously before...
Why? He's done the Ion thing before. Hell, he's done the Parallax thing.

I write about video games and stuff. It is fun. Sometimes.
That's what I was wondering too. The title of the book could certainly be talking about Kyle's group acting as guardians for the Corps-entities rather then them acting as replacements for the Guardians we usually associate with the Corps.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
I will have to pick between GLC and New Guardians, although I'm leaning toward GLC after reading Bedard's run and Tomasi's EW run back to back recently. EW was just so much better, while GLC felt like it was running in place under Bedard.
Either way, I'll certainly pick the other Green Lantern stuff up in trade.
take this post too: bleeding cool is shit
Anyway, my understanding is that at some point there was some sort of crisis, and that the resolution of this crisis involved the removal of a lot of extra characters.. or universes.. or both.
The first was Crisis On Infinite Earths back in the 80's which removed the multiverse (Earth-One, Earth-Two, etc.). It was a mega huge year long event by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. It was pretty fucking awesome, and we got some really good stuff out of it, like Batman: Year One and the Byrne Superman stuff.
The second Crisis was Infinite Crisis in 2005 which brought back the multiverse and created the 52 Earths. It was by Geoff Johns and Phil Jiminez and it was kind of ok I guess.
Final Crisis was in 2008 and it was just Grant Morrison writing an awesome story with awesome art from JG Jones and Doug Mahnke. There weren't any continuity reboots or anything.
There have been several other "Crisis's" in recent years. What they resolved I have no idea. I think DC just likes to throw the word Crisis on everything for nostalgia purposes.
I'm hoping for some news within the next couple weeks on whether or not Flashpoint is going to lead into an actual reboot or not. I order all my books online and I'll probably skip 95% of my DC stuff if everything is getting wiped clean and starting over the following month.
Totally agreeing with this.

What do you call it when you release 52 #1 issues and cease production of your original stories?
Some characters are getting their history cleaned up, certain things tweaked or removed etc. Hal Jordan looks to be one of those types, the GLs are staying mostly the same but a few minor alterations are expected and possible. For these guys it's essentially a renumbering.
Some characters are getting de-aged, like Wonder Woman, Superman and possibly Batman. I have no idea why but hey whatever floats Didio's boat. Some characters are also getting changed to a greater extent, like Cyborg (it seems). To what extent we don't know, and to who we don't know, but so far it doesn't look like many of them. This links in with the de-ageing above. For these guys it's a soft reboot.
Other characters are getting retconned to a greater extent. Hawkman was a horrendous black hole of continuity that drove anyone who went near him insane, so it looks like they are sayign "fuck that" and completely restarting him. For these guys it's a harder reboot, though that seems to be the least common change and is happening to very few characters.
I eagerly await the new word or phrase DC will use to describe whatever this is.
"displacement of certain character aspects"
"revitalization of key time standards"
I think "revamp" works pretty well.
Like how DC was calling themselves "the New DC" before the first Crisis, at least have fun with it.
Well in concept it basically is. Erasing or tampering with various parts of continuity instead of doing an all out reboot.
Hopefully the execution is better.
But if they erase the Lois and Clark marriage then it pretty much will be OMD for Superman.

Heck, I had a really sweet idea for how they could work it into current continuity. Now that Batman is ever expanding his team with the new Batman Inc, it would be awesome for WW to take a second super-hero persona as part of the Bat-family. Put her in a dark, yet majestic costume. Something like Donna Troy's outfit, only with a cape and cowl.
Then she and Batman could have some sweet adventures together as they work to clean up Gotham (or anywhere else).
Man I would hate to be anywhere in their vicinity when they have sex. Fucking richter scale would hit 11.
Yeah, count me as one of those "new fans" they're trying to attract. I'm sure I COULD catch up to current DC events and thoroughly enjoy it all, but this makes jumping in seem so much more appealing.
